WINE DESCRIPTION
Milan Nestarec's Forks and Knives White is an intriguing natural wine from the Czech Republic, offering a unique expression that diverges from conventional whites. Nestarec, a figurehead in the natural wine movement, crafts his wines with minimal intervention, allowing the indigenous yeasts and the quality of his vineyards to speak through the bottle. The Forks and Knives White, typically made from a blend of local varieties, is a testament to this philosophy, showcasing the unadulterated character of the grapes and the terroir.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
In appearance, the Forks and Knives White may surprise with a hazier complexion than one might expect from a white wine, a nod to its unfiltered status.The nose is met with a kaleidoscope of aromas ranging from stone fruits like apricot to hints of white flowers and a notable earthiness indicative of its natural winemaking process. On the palate, the wine diverges from the crispness of a typical white, instead offering a textured mouthfeel that balances the fruitiness with a savory, almost nutty complexity. Acidity is still present, but it's woven into the fabric of the wine's structure, ensuring a refreshing finish that still carries the weight of its flavors. Forks and Knives White is an excellent choice for those looking to explore the world of natural wines and pairs well with a variety of dishes, particularly those that echo its organic origins.

ORIGINS
Winery: Milan Nestarec
Region: Moravia
Moravia, located in the Czech Republic, is a wine region with a long and storied history. It has a cool continental climate comparable to Nahe or Pfalz in Germany, and experiences frequent maritime influences thanks to its position near the English Channel and Black Sea.
Moravia has been producing wine since the Middle Ages. The region was once part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and its wines were highly sought after. After the fall of the empire, Moravia was annexed by the Czech Republic and its wine industry was revitalized. Today, Moravia is one of the most important wine regions in the Czech Republic.CUSTOMER RATING
